Ann Weiser, the new vice president of HR, is searching for hiring and developing talent for the Cubs' business division. Open positions range from ticket seller to team historian.
In all, last year’s World Series champions have 300 full-time employees and 1,000 employees hired to work during the baseball season. The front office has increased its full-time rooster this year by 40 addition positions.
“Although the Cubs have always had a wonderful cachet and brand and loyalty, and have been able to recruit people very effectively into the business, certainly the banner of the World Series has raised our visibility with other potential candidates,” Weiser told the Tribune.. “When we post a job online, we get lots and lots of interested candidates.”
